UK June services PMI has come in at 51.6, down slightly from 51.7 in May. This is pretty much in line with aforementioned median forecast of 51.5. Having said that, just to confuse matters a little, it would appear some people were looking at a 52.0 median forecast.
Cable for it’s part is so far steady post release, presently at 1.6345, just above sell-stops said to be lying down in the 1.6300/20 area.
